Related Articles
31 January 2008
Murray begins his preparation immediately for the Queens Club tournament which begins a week on Monday after going out 6-3 6-7 6-3 7-5 against top clay-courter Nicolas Almagro of Spain.
He said: "I'd love to win Wimbledon. I'm not saying it's going to happen. But I believe that if I play my best tennis I can win. I've won against a lot of the top players. Not as many guys play so well on grass."
He added: "(Roger) Federer is for sure still the favourite to win but that's my goal."
On clay Murray also had a warning for three-times French Open champion Rafael Nadal and the multitude of top class clay players.
He said: "I play well on clay. To win against me on clay is a very good result. I'm not someone who's going to be taken lightly on this surface in the future.
"I'm going to be one of the top players on clay in a couple of years.
"I just need a bit more experience, a bit more strength and a bit more understanding of how to play and I'll be up there with the best players."
